Spanning more than 300 miles from the Ugab River in the south to the Kunene River in the north, Namibia’s Skeleton Coast National Park is one of the world’s last true wildernesses. It consists of 6,500 square miles of extraordinary beauty covering around one third of Namibia’s coastline. Dramatic mountain ranges, rugged canyons and the windswept dunes of the Namib Desert meet wild, desolate beaches. On the beaches shipwrecks are a haunting reminder of the Skeleton Coast’s treacherous weather and seas and large colonies of cape fur seals rule the roost.
